1. Carr's mind is changing because he no longer can concentrate on long written articles, he finds reading to be a difficult task when it is something he used to do with ease. He contributes this to the fact that internet reading is very jumpy and causes his mind to go back and forth from many different texts at a fast pace and in a short amount of time.
2. Carr says that the benefits for writers like himself is that he can get research done in a much shorter amount of time and with a broader circle of knowledge, with not as much deep information.
3. Carr talked about the Guttenberg Printing Press and how people of the time worried that this would cause lazyness among people, weaken their minds and undermine religious authority. What people did not recognize at the time was that the greater access to written material would actually expland and strengthen society's knowledge.
4. Carr;s main concern with Google is that people will have broad knowledge but not enough information to actually use it effectively. Also, they don't need to really know most information and will chose not to learn it because it is right there in the internet with easy access.
